PICKED UP THE CARD.

shall never forget my first nights experience after landing in Chicago ; said Charley Harris, editor of Curl Prefzeps Weekly. "It was long time ago, and the city was not character ized by any great moral influences. I went into dingy little hotel where the Sherman house now stands, poked around until I found a party of men playing cards in sort of den opening off from the bar-room. I stood and looked on for some time, and was just about to withdraw when one of the men dropped card. I wanted to see if he would discover his loss, and as he did not, regarded it as an act of courtesy to pick up the card. "You dropped this" said I, placing the card on the table. The next thing I knew the bartender was bathing my face.
 "What docs all this mean n?' I asked.
 !" Young fellow, said the bartender, When you sec a man scattering cards around, just attend to your own busi- ness and let lem alone
 "s But l didn't mean anything
 4sThe gamblers table presents no field for outside courtesy, young man.
 
 There. you are all right now. Won't be able to recognize your own nose for several days, but I don't think it is entirely ruined Think you can let the cards alone now!'
 sI told him that I would try, and strange as it may seem, it required no encrt on my part"

NOT APPRECIATED.

Mr. George Sabberly, writing from Chicago .e g friend st Dry Fork. says: !: My Dear Abner: You know 1 came here to see about having book pub- lished, but I am sorry to say that have not yet found publisher that's got the insight to recognize good thing. I carefully cut out all my Dry Fork notes that were published in the Hickory Knob .Sapling, includ- ing the one about Uncle Dave Pruitt being chased through Gum Hollow by wild hog, and also that one giv- ing the facts about the row over at Berkly meeting house, but, Alb, do you know that these fellers failed to see the point? The last one called on laughed at me. Why, my dear sir said he, the happenings at Dry Fork are not of interest to people who live away from there I didn't hit him, Alb; didn't touch him, but stepped back and gave him look that went clean through him and struck the wall. He didn't mind 1t. though. Then I turned over few pages and showed him the following sides splitter that you recollect wrote last August after helped you clean out your well: 'Old Tobe Millsaps' dog Pete ain't as lively as he used to be. The other day while going through the woods he met coon that was not on the best of terms with him, and then they had it up and down, over logs and through the bushes, but the des- tiny of battle seemed to hang in the dogs favor until the coon nailed him by the foot, and then he squawled in that, the hour of his great tribula- tion. Since then, old Pete has not been so lively by blamed sight. We'll, sir, it didn't faze him, and I bundled up my stuff and got out. 1 had always heard that there was en- terprise in this town, but have failed to find it. Tell you what's fact.
